The Mennonites of Waterloo County

The Mennonites of Waterloo County
31 December 2012


    One of the great attractions of living in this area is the influence of its Mennonite population, especially the old order adherents with their simple lifestyle, based on fervent religious beliefs. These two photographs show a typical house constantly enlarged to adapt to the burgeoning population of subsequent offsprings, and a horse drawn conveyance returning to the farm with a third horse in tow behind the cart.
